For all intents and purposes, I am starving. Yet, I am fat. I show all symptoms of starvation except the main one - being skinny af. Instead, I am fat.
Does this make sense? My calories are actually very low and on the level of "starving Africans" - 1800 per day.
Everything checks out except the weight.
I should mention I'm heavily hypothyroid, though, as I learned some months ago.
Does that make sense? Probably not. I still feel like absolute dog shit.

>1800 per day.
You won´t loose weight fast or even at all with that many kcal.
1800kcal is actualy more than my maintainace.

Calculate your base metabolic rate: http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/bmr-calculator.html
substract 500kcal
Eat that amount and you will loose weight.

OP here. forgot to mention i'm 6'9"
>>42269845
Like hell im going to eat 1000 calories.
>>42269873
If you don´t loose weight you may count your calories wrong.
Many people make misstakes like not counting minor stuff or using inaccurate amounts for their calculation.
Also 1800 is still pretty much for a cut, even if you are 6`9.

I am eating well below 1000 kcal and I do a lot of cardio.
Most days around 500 kcal.
Just fast. Stop eating.

Nice meme faggot

You're not showing the symptoms of starvation, you fucking retard
Are your teeth falling out? Are your eyes sucked into your eye sockets?
Can you physically not move?
You're not starving, you're just feeling bad because you haven't had your candy for a long time

Nice try

lol if you actually think 1800 calories is starving mode then bitch please
Im fat (5'10, 210) and set myself at about 1400 a day and can very easily eat below that
A rightly portioned meal with a chicken breast, rice and vegetables is no more than 400 calories and I can easily make that the only thing I eat throughout the day. Throw in an egg or two for breakfast or snackies and thats maybe another 100 calories
Stop being retarded

I´m not OP and I am loosing weight pretty fast.

Not if you're a fatty with a TDEE of 3000.

TOPKEK
If you feel hungry all the time, something is messing with your leptin/ghrelin balance. First culprit could be insulin, so you could try and keep it as low as possible for as long as possible (eat low glycemic foods, do intermittent fasting, full fasting, keto, stuff like that).
Another explanation could be something like a sugar addiction. When you're addicted, your hunger isn't really hunger, but cravings for your fix. Try and forgo sugars for a couple of days and see if you get withdrawal symptoms. If you do, you need to get rid of this addiction first, before considering anything else.
If you really are hypothyreoidic go find a doctor and get t3 prescription faggot.
Of course youre not losing wheight
